Scott Dubois's review...
My experience with the program so far

Hey Guys today I am bringing you a quick review about a new autoresponder that BEATS ALL OTHER AUTORESPONDERS. I am going to go through and explain what is so great and why this system is a must-have ESPECIALLY WHEN STARTING OUT! So let's get to it.

Before I start this review, I was really upset when I learned about this autoresponder because had I known about it when I started January of last year (2023) I would have gotten this right off the bat. I am actually in the middle of switching all my stuff over to this autoresponder as it is more cost-effective to use. In this business, we always want to find the most cost-effective ways to bring in results. This autoresponder offers just that.

SendShark is the name of this autoresponder. Now the system is amazing in many ways. I have only been a member of this autoresponder for about a week and a half at the time of writing this but nonetheless I have gone through it with a fine tooth comb and figured out that for experienced and beginner affiliates alike it is an amazing piece for your business...

Now, For the past year, I have been with a couple of autoresponders. I have one called Builderall which is amazing but I only use it for one of my systems I have DFY emails setup through it but nonetheless use it daily to send to my subscribers on it and GetResponse.

Had you asked me way back in the middle of the year last year I would have told you GetResponse was the best. I loved it. It was great until I realized the major disadvantage.

THE PRICE!

I don't have a huge list yet but nonetheless, it still costs me 30$ish a month which I only get up to 2500 subscribers... Which is ok... But when you start going up that's when you start paying more. And more. And more...

Up above you will remember me saying that your affiliate business (and any business for that matter as this is not my first business. I was a window cleaner and owned my own business) you need to find cost-effective ways to build your list and email your list FOR RESULTS...

This is where I'm going to shatter your ideas about GetResponse... GetResponse charges me 30 dollars a month for only 2500 subscribers right? Well, what if I told you that one of the biggest selling points on SendShark is you get up to 50,000 subscribers?

What would you expect to pay for that? 500 dollars? Lower... Fine 350? No Lower. One more time now how about 100 dollars a month? Nope... YOU WILL PAY 25.00 USD a month for an autoresponder that you can have up to 50,000 subscribers... WOW!

Now... Guess how much you will pay for GetResponse at 50,000 subscribers? 100 Dollars... NOPE HIGHER! 245 whopping dollars a month which will equal about 2940 a year... Which isn't bad if you are making enough sales to cover that cost but is it worth it at that point? Not really because that is 2940 dollars every year out of your sales.

SendShark will cost you around 300 dollars a year. WOW! same amount of subscribers WAY LESS MONEY... Autoresponders are seriously price gouging people now if you take the 2940 - 300 = 2640 left over you save A YEAR...

That already makes this an amazing Autoresponder. NOW other features of SendShark go without mentioning. You have your normal broadcasts, autoresponder, import/export subscribers, and of course you have your place to make forms that will make it easy to use a system like LeadsLeap to make your capture pages, there is your normal page builder on SendShark. There is one more system on SendShark that makes it really cool and to my knowledge, I don't know of this feature being in any other autoresponders and if it is I am sorry.

SendShark gives you the ability to EASILY share your email campaigns with others.

So if you have a course let's say and you have a great funnel built into an email campaign and want to share it with your trainees in your course all you need to do is grab the share code and share it with them. It is kind of like how you share pages and whatnot on LeadsLeap.

Now commissions. When you become a member of SendShark and you start promoting SendShark you will get if I remember correctly 50% commissions...

2 sales and you break even. One of the things I am always saying when talking about affiliate marketing whether it's getting traffic... Or you are getting a system with your tools or whatever it may be, if you can break even you are getting it for free WHICH is the goal because if you are breaking even anything else you make over and beyond that is profit. That is how it should work.

I already have a couple of systems where I am breaking even and have already made a profit because I broke even. Anyway, I will stop rambling and go on to the likes and dislikes.

What I Like

  • Obviously as stated above one major like is the amazing 50,000 subscriber price point for 25.00 a month. I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH
  • This autoresponder is simple to use much like its other competitor's systems Aweber and GetResponse
  • Share capabilities. Easy to share your campaigns with others all at the click of a button
  • 50% Commissions
  • easy to build campaigns
  • NOT AS PICKY AS OTHER COMPETITORS... This has been a very big dislike for me since having other autoresponders like GetResponse and Aweber (I forgot to mention above I used Aweber as well) By this I mean if you are advertising something they don't seem as picky. I can honestly say I was doing a campaign on advertising Myleadgen on Aweber and they got mad and stopped the campaign stating that I can't bring people to a lead system like Myleadgen even though it is a way of getting leads to your list or getting more sales... I will take this moment to say if you want to check out my review on Myleadgen it is on here under my reviews.

What I Dislike

I have yet to find something I dislike.

Final Verdict

My final verdict? I think I have said enough that should honestly show you that this system is the bomb.

As I have stated... My main Autoresponder was GetResponse and though I love GetResponse. I am pulling away from it to use Sendshark as I am finding the price to be better for the number of subscribers you can email. It is more cost-effective and CEO Joel Therien and many other people have said that there is really no reason for many other competitors to be charging as much for emailing a list of subscribers especially when you get up to 50,000 subscribers.

Joel very much so cares about the success of others and that is why he states that this system was made to be cost-effective and whatnot.

So my honest opinion is it is well worth it. Don't skip over this because it could be better for your business as I stated above you will end up saving 2640 dollars a year if your list is 50,000 subscribers or above... THAT in the long scheme of things better because that is 2640 more dollars in your pocket at the end of the year.

In business, you always have to shop around for better tools and whatnot. That is why I jumped on LeadsLeap when I found it and deleted ClickMagick and LeadPages because those two alone were costing me around 90 dollars a month alone...

So make the right choice and I will catch you on the very next review! Thanks for Reading

Make sure to check out my other reviews too. I always try my best to deliver value, proper information, and 100% honest opinions of certain systems. Thanks

Scott Dubois's review...
My experience with the program so far

Hello and welcome to my review on GetResponse. Before I start this review I would like to say that this in the future will not be my main autoresponder if you go to my other reviews and check out my review on my other favourite autoresponder you can check it out. The other autoresponder I like is called SendShark and will be my main autoresponder in the future.

GetResponse has been an amazing autoresponder. I have had an amazing run with it. I would have to say that GetResponse and Aweber are the top autoresponders (Up until I found out about SendShark) in the Affiliate world.

The autoresponder is easy to use and easy to set up your account once you are on the inside. The system has normal features that every autoresponder has.

Forms to create HTML codes for your capture pages on other sites like LeadsLeap, It has your broadcasts, the autoresponder campaigns, it has a capture page and landing page builder, easy setup of different lists and an easy-to-see and use contacts list.

One additional feature I like about GetResponse in the contact list area is the ability to see how engaged your clients are.

Getresponse has a 5-bar system to show how engaged each client is bar 1 is not engaged at all.

Bar 2: Is at risk of going to bar 1

Bar 3: Is Neutral engagement

Bar 4: is Engaged

Bar 5: Is highly engaged,

Now I like this system better than other autoresponders because it is easier to see how engaged these people are. This makes it easier to Clean Your List! As I have stated in previous reviews Cleaning Your List Is like taking your dirty laundry to the laundromat or your own washing machine. Simply if you don't work on your list and don't "wash your Laundry" Your list will get dirty and it will affect your open rates and so on. It is extremely, EXTREMELY, important that you clean your list now and again.

After meeting so many of the higher marketers in our industry and speaking with them, like John Thornhill, Igor Kheifets, James Neville-Taylor, Dean Holland and many others they always say CLEAN YOUR LIST.

GetResponse does make this easy with their bar system which shows how engaged the client is. The unfortunate part is this is not like looking forward to clean laundry though... Sometimes it is sad to see clients go and sometimes I have to remind myself as sad as it is I have to do what is best for business and get rid of the unengaged people who are bogging down my open rates. I am seeing darn near 60% open rates because I clean my list regularly. I usually wait a month but no more than a month because a certain newsletter might bring them back which I have had happen. My mentor Igor Kheifets when he was teaching me said something in his training about "Resurrecting the list" and I have done that with certain campaigns not so much the list itself but more so with clients who went dormant.

Anyway, enough rambling on about that. This feature is truly amazing and easier than other autoresponders.

I also like their easy-to-use save-a-template feature.

Ever get sick of making an email and having to add your business logo maybe even your picture and a few other things every single time to every new email you write? I do too. They have a very easy-to-use save-a-template feature where you can keep a template you've made for the future. For instance, my current template is...

Logo

Body

selfie of myself

and then my whole body is preformatted to the regular 18 pt font and Georgia text which is a normal setup for emails in email marketing.

I know its a very short description of my template but really the only thing changing in that each time is the body of my email the rest of the template never really changes.

All in all GetResponse has been a really amazing autoresponder but of course, is no longer my top recommendation (As I said above see my review on Sendshark) GetResponse also has automation and stuff which the SendShark autoresponder lacks.

I don't really ever use automation very much anyway so really for what I use GetResponse for, Sendshark gives me the same.

What I Like

  • I like the easy-to-use autoresponder. It is very simple and one of the top autoresponders and can honestly say it is probably even better than Aweber in some aspects
  • I like the save-a-template feature as it is very simple to save a template with the normal setup you always use for emails
  • I like the engaged bar feature as I mentioned above it is really easy to see who is and is not engaged on your list with this feature.
  • I like how easy it is to set up emails with a few clicks of a button you can have an email setup in seconds
  • I like that GetResponse seems like one of the more professional autoresponders. I am all about being professional so when I see a tool that reflects that I really like it as I was brought up being taught about business and professionalism.

What I Dislike

Usually, I don't have complaints about systems that I thoroughly enjoy but this one on the other hand I do have a couple of dislikes.

  • Price- The price can be steep as I am paying 30 dollars a month right now for 2500 subscribers and that is not horribly bad but when you go past 2500 the price can go up from there. In my review on SendShark, I talk about the price for that autoresponder for 50,000 subscribers it is 25.00 a month or 300 for a year and when you get up to 50,000 subscribers with this one it is 245 dollars a month or 2940 dollars a year... Yea, that's going to be steep especially when I plan to take this Affiliate Marketing straight to the top and hope to have a huge list someday...
  • TOO PICKY... Sometimes when trying to import your subscribers from other lists on other autoresponders you own when those subscribers have opted into your list they don't like you importing them and will reject the import... Do it enough times and GetResponse will just bring down what I like to call "The Ban Hammer" I have never been banned by them but this makes it hard to switch over to them with a list from another autoresponder because they are too picky. I once tried to bring over a list from a different autoresponder because I was trying to get rid of it and they rejected it. They were prequalified leads but they wouldn't allow it...
  • Last dislike... They will take away campaigns and stuff if you knock back your subscription... Yup if you ever downgrade I got told that it will erase my work if I downgrade... That is sort of a kick in the pants considering that you did all that work into building those campaigns and they don't let you keep them there if you downgrade...

Final Verdict

My final verdict is I still think eventhough I had 3 dislikes about GetResponse that it is still worth it to the right person. If you don't care about the above dislikes and care to have a very professional autoresponder then GetResponse is for you. They are really amazing and really simple to use.

I said above that they are probably better than Aweber. I have had many issues with Aweber that I haven't had with GetResponse.

They are a great Autoresponder and I do stand behind them despite the dislikes. It was the very first autoresponder I started with and I have been really amazed.

I hope you enjoyed reading my review on GetResponse and I hope I have helped you make an informed decision on whether or not to go with GetResponse! Thanks for reading and I will catch you the next time.

James King's review...
My experience with the program so far:

I have begun building my list in this and other programs that are associated with it. I am also promoting multiple income streams. My LeadsLeap followers are growing and other programs are growing.

What I Like:

I can build my list AND promote multiple programs that are designed to build my income. The emails in this system are designed to promote a rotator of your favorite products after promoting the core programs. I like that I promote 1 page, built using LeadsLeap, and after the core programs are promoted in the followup series, it automatically rolls to whatever I want to sell. So long as it's in my rotator.

What I Dislike:

What I dislike is that it is cost prohibitive for some folks. At $147 for the email series ready to import into LeadsLeap, and a whopping $599 for the whole enchilada, which includes some juicy extras, some folks are put off by the price. Also, there is a good bit of up front work to build out the pages for the whole funnel using share codes within LeadsLeap.

Final Verdict:

I love that you can import everything into LeadsLeap and don't have to build a WordPress blog AND enter all the emails individually into your autoresponder. I also love that you can use LeadsLeap for the whole thing. Landing Pages, Funnel, Autoresponder, and traffic. You can add other paid traffic sources for a quicker experience. The owner of The Rotator Kit, Lee Murray goes over various paid promotion options.

Stephen Crossland's review...
My experience with the program so far

This site quickly became my number 1 recommendation. Why? Where else can you claim so many amazing promo codes at most of the very best mailers. In fact at the time of writing you can now claim 57 promo codes for solo ads, email credits, banner ads and text ads all for free.

Jason the owner, also has an amazing bargain upgrade option, where you can claim at all the sites, all over again for loots more free advertising.

What I Like

The thing here that is often overlooked, is that the free advertising gives your referrals a big incentive to join all the sites. And guess what? When they join they are joining through YOUR affiliate links and when they upgrade you get the commissions.

There is also an unmissable daily promo code to claim and a weekly promo code. I log in every day here and never miss claiming.

Recommending this site to my followers, saves them many hours clicking for ad credits, and helps them build their down lines in whatever programs they are promoting.

What I Dislike

It may sound like I am being greedy, but I would like to see even more sites taking part.

(Jason has promised to keep adding more sites in the future).

Final Verdict

This is my number 1 recommendation. I rate this a must for all online marketers.

Piergiorgio Sansone's review...
Wealthy Affiliate is the most comprehensive, progressive, and extensive global affiliate marketing platform/community. I think it is the best and fastest way to start your blogging or eCommerce experience.

The aim of this PlatPlatformthe is the succPlatformis members; everything is focused on it.

Nothing has left the chance, and you know what are the details that determine the success of a product or service. There is everything you need to start an online business from scratch.

If you want the business to grow steadily, growth occurs when it evolves as an entrepreneur, acquiring and applying new knowledge, methods, and strategies in business.

For this reason, it's essential to follow an excellent educational program and always be current.

In other words, as an entrepreneur, you cannot afford to stop studying because the surrounding environment is continually evolving, and businesses must adapt to this environment to grow.

The Wealthy Affiliate is the perfect platform to continue your online business if you are a beginner or even an expert marketer. As you will see, this platform offers you sPlatformic knowledge and can help you grow your business from the experience of its community members, who are over 1.4 million people.

What I Like

I will list the most of them:

  • the incredible support for any issue
  • the fastest Google position and site authority
  • the incredible Service Management
  • the experiences of thousands of web entrepreneurs can help you and inspire
  • High-quality Foundation training and the Advanced for 100's topics are also fantastic.

What I Dislike

Inside the platform, there are ways to make money supporting people and becoming ambassadors, publishing valuable content in your blog, or as a training or tutorial.

The System tracks your daily activity and builds rank to evaluate your impact on the community. That's cool, but sometimes you can lose the focus on your core business following the rank and your positioning.

I suggest giving it the right weight and producing valuable content when it is possible for you, and don't be a slave of the ranking.

Final Verdict

Suppose you want to sell your service or products in any niche. In that case, if you desire or don't know what is selling, I invite you to follow your intuition and join the WA anyway; other users will inspire you, talk with them, and follow their excellent training.

You don't have anything to lose. It's FREE to JOIN.

As with many other products or platforms, I have included it among the products within my multiple income streams ecosystem strategy, where I teach how to exploit its features and integrate them into your online business, and I will be happy to share it with you.

Frank Hudacek's review...
My experience with the program so far

I joined the Home Business Academy Affiliate Program about 18 months ago and it has been one of the best choices I have had with any affiliate program. Being an online marketer for 15 years, after investing considerable amount of funds in various other programs, early-on, I find the HBA has just about everything an online beginner to the experienced marketer will need.

The co-founders and support staff are very helpful, responsive, knowledge-based and professional. They take the time to answer the questions or concerns the affiliates may have. Real people, faces and voices, there to answer questions.

What I Like

The commission structure is one of the best offered in this online space, and paid weekly. This residual income is paid month after month for as long as your signup remains a member. The HBA program has provided the right platform to steadily grow my online business.

What I like is there is not any real selling involved. With the HBA I can offer this affordable program even when someone might say 'No' to my original, other product or program offer.

The HBA platform can be used for online and offline businesses. You can build funnels, pages, merchant sites, community programs, and more, and market them across any market location.

What I Dislike

There's nothing I dislike about The Home Business Academy. Being experienced the start up was quick, the online help and videos are clear walk-you-thru, A-Z.

For the newbie the amount of information could be overwhelming at first, but the Monday thru Friday live online sessions, the Q&A, the over-the-shoulder instruction, should not leave anyone with a feeling of being 'lost'.

Final Verdict

The Home Business Academy is an excellent resource for entrepreneurs of all levels. It's affordable, reasonably priced, and stays current on what changes are happening in the market.

The HBA has 11 live events Monday thru Friday, available for replay. Many are over-the-shoulder training by the co-founders and other successful affiliates of the HBA.

Whether you're interested in starting up a home business from scratch or refining your existing small business model, the HBA can give you the resources and advice you need to succeed and grow

Furthermore, their generous monetary support of an international program to feed starving children is an important part of the heart-felt center of the company and affiliate community.

I would recommend this program to anyone looking with a desire to grow and take their business to basic or highly, experienced levels.
